John Edward White was born and
raised in Seattle, Washington. He was educated at California State
University, Chico, where he held jobs from groundskeeper to automobile
mechanic to chef during a protracted enrollment that resulted in multiple
degrees in English and one duodenal ulcer.

The writing wall (as seen above)
is an organizational technique similar to that used in large scale proposal
preparation. It works well for developing complicated narrative and
sub-plots, and is White's preferred writing method.

Before turning to writing fiction
and nonfiction full time, he worked as a Technical Writer in Aerospace and
in the electronics industry. His short fiction has been published in trade
periodicals and the Long Beach Press-Telegram, has won an award from the El Dorado Writer's Guild,
and has been recognized as the Editor's Prize
Contest winner of the Grasslands Review.

Dog Lessons, a
memoir about raising a Guide Dog for the Blind, received the IPPY Silver
Medal eLit Illuminating Digital Publishing Excellence Award.
